All Students Can Showcase Their Accomplishments
Champion Your Students!
From ‘Completing a Job Application’ to ‘Carpentry’, Education Associates now offers educators the ability to award Digital Badge Credentials for over 100 Project Discovery kits and Achieve Life Skills titles.
From classroom preparation to job success and independent living, Digital Badge Credentials empower students and communicate crucial skill sets to friends, family and prospective employers.
What are Digital Badge Credentials from Education Associates?
Digital Badge Credentials are an exciting new enhancement to the nationally-recognized job preparation and life skills curriculum from Education Associates.
A Digital Badge Credential (DBC) is an electronic award recognizing specific student performance. The receipt of a Digital Badge Credential signifies that the student has completed specific Education Associates curriculum and demonstrated the necessary competencies to show concept proficiency.
Each Digital Badge Credential represents a Project Discovery hands-on kit or an Achieve Life Skills title offered by Education Associates. We currently offer DBC for all Project Discovery Kits with the exception of Career Awareness. We also offer DBC for two distinct reading levels of every Achieve Life Skills kit in our catalog.
Your students have the opportunity to earn 186 unique Digital Badge Credentials on everything from Child Care to Customer Service!
Education Associates is passionate about this offering and the impact it can make on students. In order to encourage initial participation in the Digital Badge Credential program, we are offering 50% OFF all Digital Badge Credentials purchased for Fiscal Year 2020 (July 1, 2019 – June 30, 2020). We are extending this offer to both new and existing customers. While this discount automatically applies to every Digital Badge Credential we offer, it does not affect the one-time activation fee.
